FUNNY THINGS OF THE WAR.
Queer Freaks Taken by Men ON the
March-Carrying Looking Glass.

Queer Freaks Taken by Men ON the
March-Carrying q Looking Glass.
ssThere were lots of funny things about
the war; said Col Frederick Martin OF
the Brooklyn Elevated the other day,
t'now that you think of them when the
tears are dried away, and about the fun
niest things I recall were the queer arti-
cles the boys used to pick up on the march
and the eccentric way in which they'd
tote 'em along to finally adorn some ditch
by the wayside. Stragglers were the
worst at this, but all the fellows were bad
enough. Whenever the army went
through first family residence the boys
would capture what struck each as most
attractive, and some of their tastes were
peculiar. They had a great weakness for
cradles. You may ask me what a man
treading his way to the front wanted with
mahogany cradle, and I'm blest IL l
know, but they took 'em. First one man
would back cradle and cart it dozen
miles: then he'd begin to cuss and finally
drop it.
CHOW you'd suppose that any ordinary
idiot would just look at cradle as it lay
in the road and pass on, but they wouldn't.
Some one would be certain to pick it up
and.lug it few miles further into the Con-
federcy.
II recall one cradle that travelled 100
miles on blue backs before it went to in
crease the blaze of q mess fire. Somehow
they seemed to think vaguely that there
was chance of getting the infant soother
home, but they never succeeded.
'"The funniest thing ever saw carried
was looking glass high as your head
and two feet wide. I saw it first in the
parlor of central Virginian mansion and
next on soldiers back headed for Peters
burg. Then lost sight of it for two days
and found it again propped up against
tree forty miles further along. The next
day I saw it travelling tenderly on strag-
gler's back He had his gun in one hand
and had somehow strapped the glass so
that he could get along without holding
fast to it.
'sWell, this fellow must have got tired,
| for the next day third man had it and
the next fourth. This chap toted it on
! to the lines at Petersburg. He set it up
against tree, took long, regretful look
| at full length of his shabby self and turned
away with sigh.
| sit was just as well that he did. The
next minute along came mimic bullet,
| buzzing like q hornet, and hit the glass
square in the center and smashed it into
| frame full of cracks radiating from
| around the hole.
The heavier and the more useless things
were the more they clung to them, even
combining to escort pianos into untimely
graves in mud holes; but the man who
| could steal rocking chair was q white
robed angel in his own mind and the OBJ
| iect of universal envy.
"Another funny thing was to have the
sutler strike the camp loaded with con
| densed milk. I've seen whole regiment
sitting on a fence, each man with milk
can in one hand dipping out the thick
white stuff with his forefnger and licking
it off with an expression of beatitude that
would make Raphaelite saint look sick

The difference between French and Eng
lish cookery lies chiefy-so far as meat is
concerned-in the attitude of the cook re
garding the inherent flavor and aroma of
the Wand The French are greatly ad-
dicted to the habit of Disgusting the nat
ural flavor of meats with adyentitious
sauces, the reason being that French meat
is often deficient in natural flavor. In
England, on the other hand, where the
5-year-old mutton and other kinds of
meat have more agreeable and richer
flavor of their own, the chef best shows
his skill by preserving this flavor, which,
after all, ismore inviting and appetizing
than any sauce ever invented by a cult
nary genius The French cook ''is too
often tempted to extend his art to dark
fieshed game, and, seeking to adorn it
with new fiavors, destroys the original
SAVIOR and aroma, in which consists the
value OF the dish. York Post

Historian Bancroft's Methods of Labo

Historian Bancroft's Methods of Labor.
Mr.. Bancroft's methods of labor are
peculiar He has had his historical data
in the vaults of safe deposit company in
Washington for years. When he intends
to write he sends for whatever notes
or manuscripts he needs-and he has
copies of all the archives Of the
United States and several foreign
countries, gathered at an immense cost Of
money and labor-and devotes himself to
study until he has every fact fixed in his
mind, with the relating circumstances.
Then he calls in his stenographer and die
tates to him at length, constantly walking
up and down his room as he does so, gen
orally with his hands under his coat tails,
or leaning back in his easy chair with a
long German pipe in his mouth. After the
notes are written out Mr.. Bancroft de
votes himself to the work of condensing
and refining them, often reducing five or
six pages into one. The result is then
copied and laid away, often for years, until
the subject or the epoch of which he is
treating is complete. Then he takes the
manuscript, goes over it again in thesame
manner, leaving scarcely a line as it
originally stood, but rewriting the whole.

Preserving Young Oysters.

Extensive experiments in oyster culture
have been carried out by the United States
government. Particular attention has been
paid recently to methods for preserving the
young Wire baskets three feet wide, three
feet high and six inches deep are used for
collecting the spat, which adhere closely to
them. Mud is the great enemy to the
oyster industry, and by this scheme the
young oysters are kept clear from the de-
structive sediment by frequent shaking OF
the baskets. 1t is said that an average
oyster under favorable conditions will
yield 100000 young. Boston Tran

A Most Remarkable Climate.

At point where the two ranges Of the
Cordilleras, the eastern and western, which
traverse Peru from north to south, meet,
and from what is known as the junction
of Pasco Eel nudo de Pasco) is located the
city of Cerro de Pasco, 156 miles from
Lima. It is built upon honeycombed
foundations and possesses a most re-
markable climate by reason of its great
height above the sea level. From Decem-
Der to March, a season which the people
of the Cerro term their winter, whereas
in reality it is their summer, the tempera-
ture during the day is from II to Is de-
grees above zero, at night it falls to near
zero, but the water seldom freezes.
During this season the sun appears at
times, and from the purity of the atmos-
phere the heat caused by its rays is almost
unbearable. A person may be standing
partly in the sunlight and portion of his
body may be in the shade; that portion is
disagreeably cold while the part exposed
to the sun is uncomfortably warm. It
would be difficult to find another locality
where the atmospheric changes are more
distinctly marked.-New York Graphic
